Previous studies have documented a relatively high rate of racial–ethnic microaggressions in therapy (e.g., 53% to 81% of clients have reported at least 1 microaggression). In addition, clients who perceive racial–ethnic microaggressions from their therapist have reported lower working alliances and worse therapy outcomes. In one study, over 75% of microaggressions went unaddressed in psychotherapy, and the reason for this is not fully understood. It could be that therapists do not recognize racial–ethnic microaggressions when they occur or feel anxiety about the process of addressing them. A 1st step is to determine whether therapists are able to recognize racial–ethnic microaggressions. The current study included 78 therapists who were randomly assigned to one of 2 conditions: (1) a video vignette of therapy session with 3 racial–ethnic microaggressions (i.e., microaggression condition) and (2) a video vignette of a therapy session with no microaggressions (i.e., neutral condition). The results demonstrated that when compared to those in the neutral condition, participants in the microaggression condition rated the therapist as less sensitive overall, less culturally comfortable, and less culturally humble and as having missed more cultural opportunities. Within the microaggression condition, 38% to 52% of therapists accurately identified one of the 3 microaggressions.

心理治疗中微攻击检测的实验测试：治疗师多元文化取向。

以前的研究记录了治疗中种族-民族微攻击的比例相对较高（例如，53% 到 81% 的客户报告了至少 1 次微攻击）。此外，从他们的治疗师那里感知到种族微攻击的来访者报告说，工作联盟较少，治疗效果更差。在一项研究中，超过 75% 的微攻击在心理治疗中没有得到解决，其原因尚不完全清楚。可能是治疗师在发生种族-族裔微攻击时没有意识到它们，或者对解决这些问题的过程感到焦虑。第一步是确定治疗师是否能够识别种族-民族的微侵略。目前的研究包括 78 名治疗师，他们被随机分配到以下两种情况之一：(1) 带有 3 个种族-民族微攻击（即微攻击条件）的治疗过程的视频小插曲和（2）没有微攻击（即中性条件）的治疗过程的视频小插曲。结果表明，与中性条件下的参与者相比，微攻击条件下的参与者认为治疗师总体上不太敏感，在文化上不太舒服，在文化上不那么谦虚，并且错过了更多的文化机会。在微攻击条件下，38% 到 52% 的治疗师准确地识别出 3 种微攻击之一。微攻击条件下的参与者认为治疗师总体上不太敏感，在文化上不太舒服，在文化上不太谦虚，并且错过了更多的文化机会。在微攻击条件下，38% 到 52% 的治疗师准确地识别出 3 种微攻击之一。微攻击条件下的参与者认为治疗师总体上不太敏感，在文化上不太舒服，在文化上不太谦虚，并且错过了更多的文化机会。在微攻击条件下，38% 到 52% 的治疗师准确地识别出 3 种微攻击之一。
